Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations planning a PB member Yellow Perch experiment

I'll be looking this spring to see if I had any carryover from last year's ribbons. They should be easy to identify by next spring. I'll try all three nets. I have a drop net, I must not be doing it right.
I watched the video of the GSH. My iPad wasn't showing it very clearly. Were they feeding on YP fry? Or just schooling along the bank?
For some reason, I just never considered GSH as a predator. Makes sense, now that I think about it. We've caught a few this year. The larger ones hit a little jig, just like the HBG, and the YP.
I guess I'll leave the ribbons in next spring also. With every fish in the pond going after the YP fry, I don't think I need to worry too much about overpopulation.
(I do run a feeder, but it's a bit on the sporadic side.)
